Foundation of Abu Dhabi

This exhibit begins with the journey of two hunters preparing for a hunt. Setting out from Liwa, a small desert community, visitors follow their path as they track the footprints of a gazelle, unfolding the story of their pursuit and offering an intimate glimpse into traditional desert life.

The experience then transitions through time, transporting visitors to the early settlements of Abu Dhabi as a growing community takes shape. The narrative continues with the emergence of Qasr Al Hosn, followed by scenes of pearling and fishing boats along the coast, revealing a thriving maritime culture and highlighting the deep connection between land, sea, and people.
